Artistic Work has had his chances and makes his debut on the surface though he's been running in better maidens than this. Catena Zapata should improve for last month's run behind Hype though RATIB (NAP) has the stronger form. Joseph O'Brien's son of Frankel was an outsider in what looked a very strong maiden here won by Lough Derg a fortnight ago but stayed on well once the penny dropped and was beaten less than 5 lengths. Bear Story ran well for a long way behind Van Gogh at the Curragh while Dermot Weld's newcomer Kasansay is a half-brother to smart winners Kastasa and Kassaba and won't need to e special to get into contention.
